In professional interior design, the entryway mirror is considered the catalyst that manages the perception of space and clarity. Its function transcends the purely utilitarian, becoming a design resource that visually expands hallways and foyers, multiplying natural or artificial light and eliminating any feeling of confinement. Choosing the right mirror for the entryway involves understanding the interplay between the frame, the glass, and the wall surface, always seeking a balance that provides sensory depth and a materiality that connects with the overall style of the home. It is the piece that humanizes the entrance, adding a layer of sophistication that invites calm and order from the first glance.

When placing a mirror in the entryway, the most important technical factor is the height of the center of the mirror, which should be approximately at eye level (about 160-165 cm from the floor). If the space is narrow, opt for vertical or oval models that visually widen the wall without overwhelming it. For a touch of sophistication, coordinate the frame material with the console table handles or the finish of your coat rack. Remember that a frameless mirror or one with very thin frames is the ideal solution to avoid visually cluttering entryways that already have significant decorative elements. Finally, avoid placing the mirror directly opposite the front door if you want to maintain a more intimate and cozy atmosphere upon entering.
Round or oval mirrors are highly recommended because their curved lines soften the rigidity of corners in small spaces, creating a visual flow that increases the feeling of comfort.
Hanging the mirror on the wall provides a cleaner, more professional image, and is also the safest option. Leaning it against a wall is a very trendy decorative choice that adds a bohemian and relaxed feel, but it requires a console table with sufficient depth and stability.
It is recommended to use a high-quality microfiber cloth lightly dampened in a solution of water and white vinegar or isopropyl alcohol, drying immediately with a dry cloth for a crystal-clear, flawless finish.
As a rule of balanced design, the mirror should be less than or equal to the width of the piece of furniture it sits on. Ideally, the mirror should occupy between 60% and 80% of the console's width to maintain a harmonious proportion.
